Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in conjunction with the University of Utah, is providing an introductory course on its state of the art STOMP simulator. The course will be held October 26-27 at the University of Utah. STOMP is a suite of computer codes used in tackling subsurface multifluid flow and reactive transport problems. This course combines lectures by PNNL coding staff with dynamic computer laboratory activities to give students a broad understanding of the simulator and its applications.
The simulator itself is a package of ‘operational modes’ designed for tackling a wide variety of complex conservation equations. This tool’s versatility is illustrated by the breadth of applications that it has for both field and laboratory investigations. It has been used in analyzing the following: geologic nuclear waste repositories; radionuclide transport; unsaturated zone hydrology; reactive barriers; nuclear waste tank thermal histories; surface barriers; freeze walls; soil desiccation; soil vapor extraction; volatile organic migration and fate; dense nonaqueous phase migration and natural attenuation; geologic sequestration of greenhouse gases; coupled reactive transport; oil shale production; and natural gas hydrate production.
This 2-day course is being offered for a fee of $200 (discounted student rate: $50), which includes lunch and all course materials. Students interested in obtaining a STOMP software license can do so at the STOMP website: http://stomp.pnl.gov/licensing.stm
